The horror and outrage

[RadishRose]

Thank you....yes, I've been here and there........as to the photography though, I'm quite inept.

No, you do fine!

Belize: Here's a pic of our most serious injury, (he apparently had to turn in the neck brace at the border upon departure)......as to the hospital...no comment. (OMG).

one of my encampments last summer was invisible upon approach. it's a screened area under a tree fall with a retractable tarp


the tripod of logs which supported the canopy was tied together by a vine that curled into the form of a fabronici curve.



welcome to the greenroom...


this is where i spent most nights, outdoors, with the occasional visitor or two!

From the top of Sigiriya, Sri Lanka, 1985...... https://sigiriyatourism.com/

Was in Ceylon/Sri Lanka age 17, for my 21st birthday, and again when I was 42.

Senegal, circa 1987......went on a wooden boat, (basically a large canoe type), day trip, some French people, a few locals being dropped off at various locales, (small islands and such)......it was early morning when we set out and dark when we returned - these ants were crossing the trail before we started, and still going when we got back....they wouldn't reveal their destination, and I gave up trying to count them:

I don't live near any woods or much natural space but I do have a safe place to walk in the country. It does help clear the mind and mend the body.

I can't go far from home but my way of relaxing is watching videos of nature with animals and birds and beautiful landscapes and other wonderful scenery. It's accompanied by soft music and sounds of nature. I figure it's the next best thing to being way out there.

Yes I do the same, there are many wonderful YouTube videos on nature....I've just discovered a really good one, about a man named Martijn Doolaard, he is renovating cabins in the mountains of Italy.

And here's the boat we went on.....(post #56)

sea to summit, this is where a big part of me remains...

this was a hut on one of our seaweed farms where the children played with starfish in ankle deep water at low tide and the dolphins swam beneath you in water three meters deep when the tide gets high...


it's really a life of a abundance if you enjoy the simple things, a great place to grow up or get old along with quite a number expats from all over to feel at home with.


and these are my children, möbius in the background and his step-sister in the foreground, enjoying a day up in the hills where we farm and raise livestock.


not sure if i will ever be able make it back but it's good to know they're safer where they're at (for now.)

It's my cosmopolitanism.

2013: Rare shot of a pedestrian free Charles Street Bridge in Prague.......we got up around 3:00 a.m., showered, had breakfast, caught the streetcar downtown, and arrived just as the last bar was emptying.......then we had the city to ourselves for a few hours....don't think we saw another person during that time:

Disembarking the Gambia ferry at Banjul and heading back into Senegal.....ours was the only car aboard and I inadvertently hit the horn...oops.

 

[Nemo2]

Hmmmm..do I notice a trend here? Senegal & Greece.

Nemo, you have been to some beautiful places. How did you get to travel so much?

Circa 1986.....I kissed the Blarney Stone and it didn't work:

Nemo, you have been to some beautiful places. How did you get to travel so much?

I bummed around a bit...(working on a dam in N. Western Australia carried me right around the world)......worked in Saudi for 7+ years.....we had time off 5 times every 2 years....like that.

Sarajevo, Yugoslavia late 1980s: I call this one 'Sarajevo Man'......a little market area, he was sitting in the shade, and appeared so intense about whatever he was writing......my late wife, using a film camera, a telephoto lens with no tripod, managed to capture the moment from a distance:

Khwai Tented (and moveable) Camp, Botswana, 2010. As it turned out, we were the only guests there at the time. In the foreground is Okwa, our driver/guide, who went on to manage his own camp; on the right, with the beer & bun, is 'Pilot' who had us in fits of laughter relating the tale of his company sponsored trip to Canada......can't recall the name of the fellow standing, but it was the best segment of the entire trip, (African Wild Dogs at another camp notwithstanding).
